Given:
- and are congruent right-angled triangles.
-
- Hypotenuse BC = 13 cm
- Side PR = 5cm
Theorem Used:
- Pythagoras theorem:
Solution:
Since are congruent, corresponding sides are equal. So, BC = QR = 13 cm and PR = AB
Applying the Pythagoras theorem in :
Substitute the known values:
Therefore, AB = 12 cm
